Abstract
This article describes an approach to minimize the soft-tissue trauma associated with total knee arthroplasty. A suspended leg technique provides full access to the knee by using flexion and the weight of the limb to stretch the incision. Violation of the extensor mechanism is minimized and soft-tissue balancing is enhanced with the suspended technique.Entities:
